Why You’ll Love This Break

This delightful weekend break combines the rich history of Durham with the timeless appeal of the Yorkshire coast, creating a varied and relaxing getaway filled with character and scenic beauty.

 

Durham is one of England’s most impressive historic cities, set on the banks of the River Wear and home to the magnificent Durham Cathedral and Durham Castle, both recognised as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Wander through the charming streets, browse the traditional shops and soak up the atmosphere of the medieval marketplace, where history can be felt around every corner.

 

Whitby offers a wonderful contrast, with its dramatic coastline, historic harbour and distinctive Gothic character. Famous for its abbey ruins, maritime heritage and traditional seaside charm, it provides the perfect setting for a leisurely day by the sea. Enjoy a stroll along the promenade, explore the shops and cafés or simply relax and take in the fresh coastal air.

 

With comfortable coach travel, hotel accommodation and time to explore both destinations, everything is taken care of, making this an enjoyable and stress-free short break.
